Why proper tank installation matters
A fuel storage tank has a life expectancy of between 10 and 20 years, provided a good level of tank maintenance and husbandry is maintained throughout.
- Incorrect or non-compliant tanks can lead to leaks, environmental damage and heavy fines
- Quality installations increase lifespan, cut maintenance costs and reduce risks of corrosion or structural failure
- Regulations require specific standards for materials, base, bunding, location and certification; non-compliance (OFTEC, BS standards, Control of Pollution Regulations) is non-negotiable
With over 75 years of experience in pipework and fuel tank installations and replacements, Crown Oil Environmental is on hand to help with the safe and compliant storage of a wide range of oils and lubricants, including HVO fuel, DERV, red diesel, heating oil and lubricants.
